A fresh look at some questions surrounding black holes

TL;DR

This paper critically examines the concept of black hole singularities in general relativity, arguing that the singularity is a mathematical artifact rather than a physical reality, and encourages open-minded exploration of the topic.

Contribution

It offers a reinterpretation of black hole singularities, challenging their physical existence and promoting unbiased discussion on the nature of black holes.

Findings

Singularity in Schwarzschild solution is a mathematical artifact.

No conclusive evidence that singularity exists physically.

Encourages open-minded investigation into black hole physics.

Abstract

The modern notion of a black hole singularity is considered with reference to the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations of general relativity. A brief derivation of both the original and the modern line elements is given. The argument is put forward that the singularity occurring within the Schwarzschild line element that has been associated with the radius of the black hole event horizon is, in fact, merely a mathematical occurrence and does not exist physically. The real aim here, however, is to attempt to open up the whole problem, draw some conclusions, but finally to urge everyone to consider the points raised with no preconceived opinions and then come to their own final conclusion.
